Suggestion for a new book or resources

Folks,
The stuff I really find interesting is when Dan, Ravi, Albert and other start
showing how to tweak SQL scripts to get some performance out of them.
For example, the thread entitled: "Spatial Query with multiple geometries from 2 tables"
It is an area that nearly all users are weak on (including me) and, in particular,
developers as most don't go on SQL tuning courses.
Now I know there are courses on SQL performance tuning but most don't seem
to have the money or time to access them.
What I would like to see is a book or resource created that shows a series
of spatial queries performance tuned from the basic to the more complicated
that tries to, pedagogically, build concepts.
Any others agree? Are the Pro Oracle Spatial guys going to write a book on this?
S.

Richard, I agree, they are very good classes. I was in the "pre-release" version of the classes (beginning/advanced spatial) last month and emphasis on using hints, especially in regards to NN are in the course.
BTW, for the class I used the just released (then) 10gR2 release which was interesting because I compared the execution plans with and without the hints (or out of order). On R1 many of them made a huge difference, where with R2 the correct path always seemed to be chosen (for the examples in the class) even without a hint, so the optimizer is now much smarter in regards to spatial objects.

ArchWiki: suggestion for a new page layout

Finally, I have some time to spare for ArchWiki improvement.
I have modified my article on CMYK support in The GIMP as an example.
Please take a look at it here:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CMY … n_The_GIMP
The code to produce the box on the right is here:
{{sn|'''Article summary:'''
This article will show how to enable rudimentary CMYK support in The GIMP using the Separate plug-in, and explain how to use color proof filter to soft-proof your images.
It will also cover more general topics on CMYK colors and DTP.
'''Required software:'''

*[http://www.blackfiveservices.co.uk/separate.shtml Separate plugin source]
'''Related article:'''
*[[Using lprof to profile monitors]]
This is the best we can do with current ArchWiki setup. It would be even better if we could list categories in the box, as well as i18n links.

I've been tinkering with the templates. It's fixed now, I think.
Anyway, the templates used for the job can be seen from the code:

As you can see, it's a bit more typing than before, but it sure looks better. I might shorten the names for the templates. I wanted to make them memorable so they are a bit long.
As you can see, the problem of i18n links integration was fixed, so you can use existing i18n template and combine with the new "Article summary" set.
I will modify the article about writing summaries to include those templates and examples.
EDIT: :oops: the i18n links in the article are just examples. Don't use them, since they lead to non-existing pages.
EDIT2: Okay, I've played around with the appearance of the summary box, but I'm at work now, so it's going nowhere. I'll play with it some more when I get home.

Need suggestions for a new printer with OS 10.9.5

I have a 2010 HP 6500 A Plus printer that has worked well with my iMac circa 2010. Printer is not feeding paper. It won't scan. Are there suggestions for a new compatible printer for OS 10.9.5.?

Hey Debbisita,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are experiencing issues with your Printer and OS X. Before opting to purchase a new printer, you can try these troubleshooting steps to completely isolate the issue:
Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/ts3147
Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Suggestion for a Good Book

Hi,
Could someone suggest me a good book covering core java security (not J2EE)?. I'm looking for a book that covers all security related APIs that are part of Java 2 SDK 1.3.x + JSSE + JCE + JAAS or Java 2 SDK 1.4.x.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

I've a book called "Professional Java Security",
by Jess Garms and Daneil Somerfield, published by Wrox press.
I've used it to dip my toes into the Java Cryptography extension, and
it was very good. I got a TripleDES encryption utility working reasonably easy.
Also covers JCA, JCE, JAAS, JSSE, SSL and E-Commerce.
regards,
Owen

Any suggestion for a new sound card?

Hello!
My old PC has left me alone, and I'm going to build a new one from scratch this month. I'll be running Win7, I doubt I'll be going for Win8.
As for the sound card, I'd need some advice on what to buy: I have always had SoundBlaster cards and have loved them all, so I think I'll go for a new SoundBlaster (not even taking into account the built-in sound card on the motherboard...), but I can't discern which one would fit me best. I mostly use MIDI and soundfonts for recording study bases for my choir to rehearse and for composing orchestral music: I usually need complex MIDI files with many voices and instruments to perform well.
My old sound card was an Audigy with (just?) 48 MIDI channels (45 free + 3 drum channels), I'd like to have some recent card with good Win7 drivers, but still with many MIDI channels and soundfont support.
The one thing I'm sure I won't be changing at this moment is my 5.1 analogic speaker system, so I need a card with 5.1/7.1 analogic connectors.
Any advice (or wise info on what not to buy) will be much appreciated, thank you all!!!

Thank you for your advice. Have you tested any soundfont bank manager? Regarding this same soundcard, the Creative helpdesk told me it does not come in bundle... I was suggested to try with this one: http://ccfiles.creative.com/manualdn/Applications/AVP/11113/0xCA3D54C2/SFBM_PCAPP_LB_3_21_02.exe (Creative Soundfont Bank Manager 3.21.02), but they also told me (copied from their email)
This Creative SoundFont Bank Manager 3.21.02 is not bundled to the SoundBlaster Audigy Rx. You can try and test this but we do not officially claim that it will work.
Please note that the Creative SoundFont Bank Manager 3.21.02 is compatible with Microsoft Windows 7 64-bit or 32-bit, Microsoft Windows Vista 64-bit or 32-bit with Service Pack 1, Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, Windows XP Service Pack 2, Windows XP Media Center Edition (MCE) 2005 or Windows XP MCE 2004.
For SoundBlaster Audigy Rx, it has synth a and synth b meaning 128/128 voices.
No mention about Win8 compatibility...

Scanning suggestions for an Apple book?

Are there specific scanning suggestions (dpi, exposure, etc.) for old prints and negatives to be used for an Apple book, other than the generally available scanning recommendations?

When it comes to scanning and what is right for your needs it takes some trial and error. Don't assume higher settings will provide better results, generally there is a point of vastly diminishing returns. Do some trials and see what looks good and is useable, when you use high settings the human eye cannot see it and you get slow performance because the files are huge and take up large amounts of HD space.
BTW there would be no difference between an "Apple book" and any other book.

Anybody got a suggestion for a new super drive for my mid 2009?

Suggestion for a new OCA / OCE exam

I have noticed that there are a lot of candidates who learn for an exam. There seems to be a lot of incentive to studying for the exam and "learning" the material.
However, there are also a lot of candidates who do not understand the 'certification', 'learning', 'followup' processes. It also seems that if there is no reward, such as a certificate, skills and processes are overlooked or misunderstood.
I suggest an OCA (or perhaps an OCE) level exam that tests the candidate for "How to find information on Education.oracle.com, Certification.oracle.com, Certview.oracle.com, Tahiti.oracle.com, OTN.oracle.com"; "What happens after you write the exam and how long do I have to wait"; "Why I should have only one testing ID"; "What is a FAQ"; "Ability to use internet search engines and how to formulate questions"; "Why do forum administrators bother with Forum Stickies", and the like.
While somewhat tongue-in-cheek (or at least cheeky), I encourage thinking about this. We are churning out people who supposedly are professionals, and yet some have no idea what that 'professional' icon means or where to find out more information about it.

Well not an OCA or an OCE certificate but perhaps an OCS, and that could be useful for partners as well. The problem is if offered online it would be abused.
I get concerned when a candidate newly registered for OTN has just passed the high stakes exam for an OCA wonders where their certificate is. It is a concern they don't seem to have researched the certification process much. The lack of familiarity with the certification process seems slightly concerning ... and there is probably a lack of familiarity with the Oracle websites as well, which is not what one would expect from a certified person.
The new OTN registration isn't a definite indicator of a problem here, but it is a strong indicator there may be something unsatisfactory.
Indeed the absolute worse case is an SQL exam online by proxy taker followed by braindump use or a proxy take of the high stakes exams.
In practice I would suspect that an unbalanced delivery of the WDP training or third party training or university training may be a culprit. (and I may be wrong here). (Note there seems to be an increasing tendency for some universities to focus on education by certification study ... ).
I really think it would be useful if a candidate was required to register with Oracle (by means of an SSO/OTN account) before being able to book a certification examination rather than being simply able to goto Pearson VUE/Prometric (This is the case with a lot of other Testing programmes, and was the case with Sun until recently). IMHO This would encourage a good 'first contact' with Oracle and would encourage the following benefits:
- A relationship with Oracle would be established sooner during the exam preparation process.
- There would be an opportunity to point the candidate at useful processes, authorized learning methods and resources via email.
- An earlier point in the learning process to discourage bad learning technique
- The sales people would love the opportunity to sell oracle training.
I think there is an argument for requiring OTN registration at least a month before a certification exam can be booked ... exceptions being if an Oracle University Course has been attended. However the logistics would probably fail on this and it could hurt people who have just left an employment.
Edited by: bigdelboy on 07-Apr-2010 00:57 PS: - Hans - You also didnt great job with one of the sticky announcements. I really think however now that Prometric / Pearson Transition has happened and merge with Sun is stable all the sticky posts should be reviewed and rolled into one entitled something eyecatching like only silly people should not read this FAQ first

Suggestion for a new name for this place

Using the term "Support" in Apple Support Communities makes people think they have Apple's ear here.
("This is the support website, right? My Mac Plus crashed after I installed all of Unsanity's Haxies. C'mon Apple!")
And lots of people aren't providing support or receiving support, anyway (e.g., this post). In fact lots of people are just blowing off steam or ranting and raving in some form or another.
Why not just call this joint: "Apple Communities"?
Yes, I embrace the irony in making this suggestion to the non-Apple audience. But feel free to trash me anyway.

Thanks for the Don Martin props. Glad to see someone recognized it. One of these days I'll get around to giving myself a present of the two volume "Completely Mad Don Martin." Too bad, I completely missed Captain Klutz. I don't think I was aware of Mad or Don Martin very much after the early '60's. I had all the fifties Mads, which my mother, in a fit of cleanliness, threw out when I went away to college. If I had them now, I could afford to buy that two volume set in a beat.
His characters are absolutely wonderful. I think the ony one who comes anywhere now to expressing that complete sense of lostness, derangement (the body gone totally awry) and befuddlement is Roz Chast in the New Yorker. (See the Ungooglable Man, below.) But Don Martin is still the gold standard in that department.
(I like your suggestons for names. Maybe we can use them all.)

Suggestion for a new feature

There are some members of this community (Templeton Peck, for example) who spend a considerable amount of time scouring the forum for off-topic posts and offering guidance as to more appropriate venues to post questions and find information, usually including links to third-party forums and other useful information. While I really appreciate the service these people provide, others often misconstrue their intentions. Sometimes the only thanks they get are accusations of List Mommery.
I'd like to suggest that Apple add a feature to the forum software to provide the same kind of service in a more systematic way. Since posts are already parsed to identify "bad words" and replace them with "xxxx," this could also be used to identify posts about third-party products, and when a post appears to pertain to one of those products, the response page could contain a notice that says something like the following:
We noticed that your post appears to reference [name of third-party product]. If you are indeed experiencing problems with this product, you might find the following of interest: [links to forums and other information resources provided by the vendor and/or independent discussions on Yahoo, etc.]
The list of links and resources could be provided by users like us through a Third Party Products topic in the forums so users can, hopefully, find them before they post questions here that would be more appropriately addressed by those other forums or knowledge bases. This topic would be for posting resources only, not discussing problems, so it would have to be heavily moderated.
Thoughts?

Hi David
This ... (proposed)... topic would be for posting resources only ...
This is already available through the search facilities of any browser. I have answered the odd query by doing just that.
Apple Discussions does not have to be a one-stop shop.
And would people use it as you plan, given the number of hardware and software queries that are posted here, ( but then, as there are an unusually high number of 'off forum' postings posted here I think most of them are intentionally mischievous.)

Suggestion for a new Hard Drive?

I'm thinking about replacing the 250GB hard drive that came with my G5 with a larger one. I'll relegate the old one to backup duties and the new one will end up being my new media drive. (Currently, I'm running my OS off a 150GB Raptor via a SATA card.)
I'd like to know what you'd suggest as a good 500MB-750MB drive to replace the existing one? I'm plan on using as a media / backup drive (for when the new OS comes out). I'd like one that's not too noisy, however. At one point I got a 320MB Western Digital that I ended up relegating to offline backup due to the whining noise it made when operating. It was noisy enough I could easily hear it above my computer's fans. I'd like something that isn't particularly noisy since it will be operating at all times.

WD would be my choice. Either 500GB or 750GB. And by the looks of it, the 750 is an excellent drive for replacing the (loud) 10K Raptor. I've noticed that Raptor bought couple months ago is much quieter than one from a year ago.
I have 3 x Caviar SE16 500GB, 2 x 320GB RE series, and 2 x 160GB RE as well. Along with a couple 10K Raptors and 3 x MaxLine Pro. The ML Pro run warm-ish and make more noise than Caviar.
Samsung 500GB would be quiet too.
